Wilmer Valderrama Biography
Born: January 30, 1980
In his role as eager-to-fit-in exchange student Fez on the enduring and popular Fox sitcom That_'70s_Show, actor Wilmer Valderrama mangles the popular lingo of the eponymous decade with gleeful abandon. Though removed from his small-screen persona, the handsome actor can give the impression of a young Benicio_Del_Toro. His dorky and personable charm as Fez has endeared him to television audiences, making him one of That_'70s_Show's defining personalities. A Miami native whose family relocated to Venezuela when he was three years old, the aspiring actor would eventually return stateside to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Valderrama joined the cast of That_'70s_Show shortly before finishing his high-school education at William Howard Taft High School in 1998, and three short years later, the television mainstay made his feature debut by taking to the diamond with a supporting role in the romantic teen comedy Summer_Catch. Guest appearances on Grounded for Life and That_'70s_Show co-star Ashton_Kutcher's hidden-camera prankster series, Punk'd, were quick to follow, and in 2003, Valderrama essayed the role of DJ Keoke in the flashy true-crime drama Party_Monster. Based on the exploits of murderous club-kid Michael_Alig, the film offered Valderrama an opportunity to truly separate himself from his popular small-screen persona. With That_'70s_Show still going strong in 2004, the popular television star's voice could also be heard in the animated children's film Clifford's_Really_Big_Movie. Jason Buchanan, Rovi
